    I want to start brewing but i got a few questions??

    I want to start brewing but i got a few questions??

    Bratrules, Just to add further, here's Palmer's book.  http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html If I were starting over, I'd try to get a few batches under my belt with the least investment as possible to see if I liked brewing or not.  Craig's list is a good idea.  Be careful, tho.  Some people...

    Man, I love brewing beer

    From crushing the grain, to doughing in, to the smell of the mash, and the amazing smell from the hop adds during the boil, to pitching the yeast, to the first draw from the tap. A fantastic, and beneficial hobby. Brewed a Harp-ish clone yesterday, a sweet stout today, and am planning to brew...

    Well, I had an epic failure over the weekend. The SSR output remained open and kept the element engaged. I decided to roll with it and try to adjust the temps by venting more heat from the smoker. Things were going along well. The smoke box was filled with cherry. It was giving off plenty o'...
